Abstract
The elastic scattering of slow electrons from A, Kr and Hg is calculated by means of phase shift analysis. In addition to the Hartree potentials radial symmetric potentials are used simulating electron exchange and polarization of the shell electrons. It is found that spin polarization and differential cross-section are in relatively good agreement with the experimental results.

Meinem hochverehrten Lehrer Professor F. Bopp zu seinem sechzigsten Geburtstag gewidmet.
I am greatly indebted to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for financial support, and to the Leibniz Rechenzentrum München der Bayer. Akademie der Wissenschaften, where the numerical calculations were performed.
Also I would like very much to acknowledge many helpful discussions with Dr. H. J. Meister, and I wish to thank Prof. R. Gaspar for his advice in statistical exchange theory.
